Dude, where's the other half of your car?
Revolutionary.

The 1970-1/2 Gremlin was a milestone, not just for American Motors, but for the American automobile industry as a whole.
"They" call it the first American-built subcompact car. But I think that probably the Bantam, Crosley, and a few others, just might have a previous claim on that title, myself. Let us say it is the first "modern" American-built subcompact car.
What was this milestone marking?
Nothing less than a major paradigm shift in the American automotive scene, probably still not yet fully realized in its magnitude.
EVERYTHING changed after this car hit the scene.
This is a 1970 factory press photo of the new Gremlin 4-Seater
1970 Gremlin 2-Seater, identifiable in this picture by the lack of a rear window latch, as the hatch was fixed and non-opening on these cars.
